Ingredients explained
Lactobacillus reuteri
Lactobacillus reuteri colonizes mucosal surfaces and produces lactic acid and antimicrobial compounds that may help maintain a balanced vaginal and gastrointestinal microbiota.
Caution: Start with the suggested serving to gauge tolerance, as probiotics can cause temporary gas or bloating while the gut adjusts.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Lactobacillus rhamnosus adheres to epithelial cells and produces acids that lower pH, which may discourage less desirable microbes in the gut and urogenital tract.
Caution: Take consistently and with food as directed to support tolerance and regularity.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus acidophilus produces lactic acid and supports a low pH environment that may favor beneficial bacteria in the intestines and vagina.
Caution: If you are immunocompromised, consult a healthcare provider because live microbes may not be appropriate for all individuals.
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus plantarum competes with other microbes for adhesion sites and nutrients and produces metabolites that may support gut barrier function.
Caution: Separate from hot beverages to help preserve live cultures.
Lactobacillus fermentum
Lactobacillus fermentum produces lactic acid and bacteriocins that may help balance intestinal and vaginal microflora.
Caution: Discontinue if persistent digestive discomfort occurs and consider restarting at a lower frequency.
How they work together
Multiple Lactobacillus species work across the gut and urogenital tract by adhering to mucosal surfaces, producing lactic acid, and competing with less desirable microbes. Their combined actions help maintain a lower pH and reinforce microbial balance in both intestinal and vaginal environments.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with compromised immune function or those recently hospitalized may want to discuss probiotic use with a healthcare provider before use.

Swanson FemFlora is a probiotic supplement for women that now features multiple lactobacilli species (compared to just two probiotic strains in the old formula) to support the flora of the mouth, gastrointestinal tract and vagina. The lactobacillus strains have been studied for their role in supporting and maintaining vaginal health. These strains may protect the urogenital tract by excreting biosurfactants that help keep the tissues clean and healthy. Another strain in this formula, L. plantarum, appears to be a predominant strain in both oral and intestinal mucosa. Studies show that it competes with other bacteria and therefore may influence intestinal and systemic immunity. More and more people are discovering the connection between intestinal health and overall health, and probiotics can play a huge role in maintaining both. FemFlora is designed specifically for the female body.
